looking at Woodcraft, where I would typically buy something like this, they are priced at about $1 a piece. Of course they need to be purchased as a 10 pack which makes sence to me.

you may be better off keeping the blanks closer to 5” in length also as that appears to be the standard length for a pen blank, and could give you an extra blank or two depending on the length of your stock.
